Описание: In A Companion to Antonio Gramsci some of the most important Italian scholars of Gramsci’s thought realize an intellectual account of the Gramscian historiography. The volume is organized into five parts. In the first, an updated reconstruction of his biographical events is offered. The second part provides three different perspectives permitting an analysis of the ideas and theories of history which emerge from Gramsci’s writings. In the third section as well as the fourth section, the most explicitly political themes are considered. Finally, in the last part the timelines of twentieth century historiography in Italy are traced and a picture is painted of the reasons for the development of the principal problems surrounding the international literary output on Gramsci.

Описание:

9/11 was an inside job. The Holocaust is a myth promoted to serve Jewish interests. The shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School were a false flag operation. Climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese government.

These are all conspiracy theories. A glance online or at bestseller lists reveals how popular some of them are. Even if there is plenty of evidence to disprove them, people persist in propagating them. Why? Philosopher Quassim Cassam explains how conspiracy theories are different from ordinary theories about conspiracies. He argues that conspiracy theories are forms of propaganda and their function is to promote a political agenda. Although conspiracy theories are sometimes defended on the grounds that they uncover evidence of bad behaviour by political leaders, they do much more harm than good, with some resulting in the deaths of large numbers of people.

There can be no clearer indication that something has gone wrong with our intellectual and political culture than the fact that conspiracy theories have become mainstream. When they are dangerous, we cannot afford to ignore them. At the same time, refuting them by rational argument is difficult because conspiracy theorists discount or reject evidence that disproves their theories. As conspiracy theories are so often smokescreens for political ends, we need to come up with political as well as intellectual responses if we are to have any hope of defeating them.

Описание: Michel Foucault is one of the most preeminent theorists of power, yet the relationship between his militant activities and his analysis of power remains unclear. The book explores this relationship to explain the development of Foucault's thinking about power. Using newly translated and unpublished materials, it examines what led Foucault to take on the question of power in the early 1970s and subsequently refine his thinking, working through different models (war and government) and modalities (disciplinary, biopolitical and governmental). Looking at Foucault's political trajectory, from his immersion in the prisoner support movement to his engagements with the Iranian revolution and Solidarity in Poland, the book shows the militant underpinning of his interest in the question of power and its various shifts and mutations. This thorough account, which includes the first translation of a report edited by Foucault on prison conditions, will provide students in contemporary political theory with a better understanding of Foucault's thinking about power and of the interplay between political activities and theoretical productions.

Описание: Can the Marxist tradition still provide new resources for thinking the specificity of historical time? This volume proposes to transform our understanding of Marxism by reconnecting with the ‘subterranean currents’ of plural temporalities that have traversed its development. From Rousseau and Sieyes to Marx, from Bloch to Althusser, from Gramsci to Pasolini and Postcolonialism, the chapters in this volume seek both to valorise neglected resources from Marxism’s contradictory history, and also to read against the grain its orthodox and heterodox currents. Privileging not the single time of historical development, but the plural temporalities that intertwine in and constitute any given historical conjuncture, and arguing against merely subjectivist theories of temporal multiplicity, this volume studies the articulation of the real, plural temporalities of mass political action. Comprehending their dynamics is a necessary precondition for a renewed politics of emancipation.Contributors include: Luca Basso, Stefano Bracaletti, Mauro Farnesi Camellone, Fabio Frosini, Augusto Illuminati, Nicola Marcucci, Vittorio Morfino, Luca Pinzolo, Peter D. Thomas and Massimiliano Tomba.

Описание: L’integration economique entre le Canada et les Etats-Unis remonte a la guerre de 1939-1945 alors que les deux gouvernements ont conclu des arrangements pour gerer au mieux les effets du conflit mondial sur leurs economies. Depuis quelques annees maintenant, on s’interroge sur l’avenir de l’integration nord-americaine. Dans le domaine de la securite, par ailleurs, on observe aussi une tendance historique a la coordination des politiques entre les deux pays. L’evolution recente de la dynamique nord-americaine en general et le nouveau contexte des relations Canada – Etats-Unis en particulier influencent naturellement les politiques des deux pays et leurs relations avec l’exterieur. Ils offrent ainsi une occasion unique de reprendre l’analyse comparee de politique etrangere afin d’en etablir le degre plus ou moins grand de convergence. On trouvera dans cet ouvrage une etude comparee de la politique etrangere du Canada et des Etats-Unis par rapport a quatre themes principaux : la dynamique internationale, les relations avec les Ameriques, l’integration economique nord-americaine et enfin la securite de l’Amerique du Nord. Venant de pays et d’horizons disciplinaires differents, les contributeurs a ce volume proposent un regard croise de l’objet d’etude, riche en nuances et nourri par des observations diversifiees.

Описание: Die Soziologie wissenschaftlichen Ruhms ist weitgehend unerforscht. Ein Versuch, ihn mit behavioristischen Methoden fur die Politikwissenschaft zu analysieren, den Somit und Tanenhaus unternahmen, zahlt zu den Faktoren, die wissenschaftlichen Ruhm bedingen: originelle Ideen, Beitrage zur Syste- matisierung, Anregung wissenschaftlicher Forschung, Publikation vielge- brauchter Lehrbucher und organisatorische Fahigkeiten. Carl Joachim Friedrich wurde bei dieser Analyse - obwohl ihr gelegentlich ein behaviori- stisches bias nachgesagt wurde - von einem grossen Prozentsatz der inter- viewten Politikwissenschaftler sehr haufig zu den bedeutendsten Gelehrten seines Faches gezahlt. Einmalig war die Dauer der wissenschaftlichen Hoch- schatzung, die er in einer Zeit einer immer kurzlebiger werdenden wissen- schaftlichen Reputation genoss. Friedrich war neben Lasswell einer der wenigen, die sowohl vor 1945 als auch nach 1945 unter den 15 bedeutendsten Politikwissenschaftlern genannt wurden. Es wird schwer sein, unter den funf Voraussetzungen wissenschaftlicher Reputation einen einzelnen Grund fur die Bedeutung C. J. Friedrichs herauszustellen. Neue Ideen entwickelte Friedrich - so umstritten manche (vor allem in der Totalitarismusforschung) gewesen sein mogen - besonders in der Erfor- schung des Konstitutionalismus, des Foderalismus und des Totalitarismus. Seine bekanntesten Beitrage zur Systematisierung der Forschungsergebnisse sind die Werke "Constitutional Government and Democracy" (1937 ff. ) und "Man and His Government" (1963).

Описание:

It is often assumed that cosmopolitan thinkers since the Renaissance have simply adopted and refined concepts from classical antiquity. This study argues that modern European cosmopolitanism should be perceived as a unique phenomenon, distinct from Greek and Roman forms of cosmopolitan thinking. One key feature is its dynamism, or the idea of change built into modern theories of cosmopolitanism.
